Giamaro Krafla GC: Italy’s new quad-turbo V12 hypercar wants to shake the establishment
06/05/2026
Italy has a new name in the hypercar world, and it is not arriving quietly.
At Top Marques Monaco, Giamaro Automobili presents the Krafla GC, a new evolution of its extreme V12 hypercar, shown in an elegant but aggressive combination of Azzurro Giamaro, Bianco Infinito and Grigio Cenere, with large exposed carbon-fibre surfaces to underline the car’s aerodynamic shape.
For a brand that most people had never heard of until recently, Giamaro is entering the conversation with the kind of confidence usually reserved for companies with decades of myth behind them.
A new Italian hypercar from Modena
Giamaro Automobili is based in Modena, the same region that gave the world Ferrari, Maserati, Pagani and some of the most emotional cars ever built. The company was founded by father-and-son duo Giacomo and Pierfrancesco Commendatore, with a team that reportedly includes people with experience at brands such as Pagani, Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Development driver Loris Bicocchi is also part of the story, and that name carries serious weight in the hypercar world, with past involvement in cars such as the Pagani Zonda, Pagani Huayra, Bugatti EB110, Bugatti Veyron and Koenigsegg projects.
The heart of the story is the V12
The Krafla is built around a bespoke 6,988 cc 120-degree hot-V quad-turbo V12, developed in-house by Giamaro Automobili. In standard form, the engine produces 1,670 PS at 8,500 rpm and 1,556 Nm of torque, while Giamaro’s own communication also refers to a maximum output figure of 2,157 PS across its V12 programme.
That is the kind of number that immediately puts the car into dangerous territory. Not dangerous because of speed alone, but because it places Giamaro in the same sentence as names like Koenigsegg, Bugatti, Hennessey and Rimac before the brand has truly proven itself in the real world.
The real challenge starts now
The hypercar market is full of bold claims. Every few years, a new company appears with huge power figures, dramatic renders and promises of record-breaking performance. Some become real. Many disappear. That is why Giamaro’s next step matters more than the Monaco reveal.
The Krafla needs to prove itself beyond design, sound and ambition. It needs to drive properly, cool properly, stop properly and deliver its performance in a way that feels controlled rather than chaotic. Because at this level, building power is only part of the job. Making it usable is the real achievement.
AutoNext Take
In a world where many hypercars are becoming electrified, silent and almost too perfect, a new Italian brand arriving with a quad-turbo V12 and a clear desire to challenge the establishment feels almost old-school in the best possible way. But we also need to be honest.
Until the Krafla proves itself on the road, on track and in customer hands, it remains a promise. A very loud, very dramatic and very exciting promise, but still a promise. The ingredients are there: Modena, serious people, a bespoke V12, extreme numbers and a sense of theatre. Now Giamaro has to turn the noise into credibility.
